Paul Watson in 1908.<br /><br />The daily prayer intentions for Church Unity, written by Fr. Paul, were the whole reason for the prayer Octave.<br /><br />In my opinion, this work of Fr. Paul Watson has been canceled out by the ecumenists and thier spirit of relativism.Edward P.

In my younger days, I was the Catholic representative, I met some really true friends of Christ. His will in this, is what we need to focus on and keep asking for the power and faith to believe in. Our Lady has already given her word. Is that truth? Ofcourse! Do we believe it? That's for us earthlings to get to grips with. Contemplate, what she watched happening to her son. Truly, give it, a moment's thought. <br />All shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.

The bishop in all the photos is clearly wearing a suit, a clerical collar and a simple pectoral cross. Fr Balsa is clearly wearing a clerical collar and dark clothes, not 'civvies'. Fr Gnacadja too is wearing dark clothes, though it's not clear if he has a clerical collar. The photos show who and what the three men were and that they were making a pastoral visit around the parish of Fr Gnacadja.<br /><br />I may be misinterpeting your comment as showing a hint of disapproval of the dress of the two priests.

Leon Pape Gnacadja the Parish Admininistrator and by Fr. Jean-Louis Balsa the Vicar General. I take it that the bishop was the one who was wearing a Roman Collar and soutane and that it was the other two who were wearing ordinary "civies". Of course the SSPX priest was dressed in Roman Collar and soutane.JARayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138004129894177863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-28234714144882698182011-01-24T21:25:37.682+00:002011-01-24T21:25:37.682+00:00Well said, Fr.

When they regain it, these cracks are healed.Michael Petekhttp://www.crownofdavid.comnoreply@blogger.com
